"I was a resident at the Transitional Living Center for approximately 1.5 years. The house provided a friendly place to call "home." [They] truly cared about giving me the tools to be a successful women.

I moved in to the house having already started my Master's Program with very little money and grieving a tragic death in my family; it was a very vulnerable time for me. [Our Friends Place] gave me the security that I needed to get back on my feet and keep pressing toward my goal.

I moved in to the house fairly successful in school and with life experience, so I assumed that I would not learn much from their life skills development programs. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked away from the program with a better understanding of financial planning, nutrition, and I even learned some sewing skills. OFP was a blessing in my life during a time when I really needed it."
